Red Willow Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It's been interesting this week watching the video of Rhys Williams Try going viral this week. It seems people think he looks like someone called Mo Saleh. The Video has been seen over 5 million times. Is this the modern marketing method? If so how can we cash in on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed it to my mate (another Liverpool fan) who was convinced Mo’s head had been superimposed on it. 4 minutes ago, Cheshire Setter said: Link to video? https://mobile.twitter.com/JCLFC_/status/1227041155097022464?s=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are pretty needy when it comes to clips of attacking skill, but it is still a snide cultural appropriation from the usual suspects.

LR23 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It was picked up in Spain yesterday (with a retweet from Iker Casillas) and in India of all places today. We are famous for five minutes now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad, really, but if they don't have any decent attacking Rugby footage of their own, I suppose they have to try and steal the crumbs from our table.

Hela Wigmen Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 RUWC using it to push their game sums them up as a sport for me. Ashamed by nothing, them lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems people think he looks like someone called Mo Saleh. The Video has been seen over 5 million times. Is this the modern marketing method? If so how can we cash in on it I`ve mentioned this on another thread but it`s even more relevant on this one. The Kelsey Gentles tackle on Tiana Penitani clip at the world nines has over 56 million views on the women`s Rugby League Facebook page. Rugby Union don`t need to appropriate because most of those posting comments on it think they`re watching "Rugby". Social media is the best hope for RL of circumventing dire mainstream media coverage, but it won`t yield benefits unless we establish a distinct identity by stressing the word " League".

Copa Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Parts of this clip from my local junior rugby league ground were shown on TV news all around the world and re-tweeted by rugby union governing bodies and organisations everywhere.. they’ve also added it to their Facebook and YouTube channels..
